Talk:Diminished seventh chord

Sixth shyness?
Why (1, ♭3, ♭5, ♮6), not simply (1, ♭3, ♭5, 6)? What suggests ♮6 ≠ 6 in this context? Sz. (talk) 21:10, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

B and A
Is Bb really an enharmonic of A? To my knowledge, "enharmonic" means "the same note." Check out the page on enharmonics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enharmonically Bbb (double flat)is enharmonic to A, but not Bb. That is because there is a whole step between A and B, and Bb is a half step from B. Flatting Bb would bring it down to an A. Or you could say Bb is enharmonic with A#, but not A.

 * A♯ and B♭ are enharmonic. Why do you ask? Hyacinth (talk) 05:17, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Diminished seventh root
The dominant ninth theory has been questioned by Heinrich Schenker. He explained that although there is a kinship between all univalent chords rising out of the fifth degree, the dominant ninth chord is not a real chord formation.

Citation not needed
The whole wikipedia is overfull of "citation needed" tags. Use them when you think there actually is a citation, not wherever you see a "some do this some do that" pattern. This worsens readability and it's unclear whether a citation for the said sentence really exists. In the article, the sentence about notation could not be more precise IMHO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.160.134.42 (talk) 07:25, 18 October 2011 (UTC)

Diminished 7th tuning
The tuning given in this page uses the MINOR 7th interval instead of the DIMINISHED one: "25:30:36:45". Diminished 7th interval should be 128:75 or 216:125 [see ] (which corresponds to approx' 25:30:36:43, [or 75:90:108:135 or 125:150:180:216]). Don't know which one is more widely accepted, but the tuning listed now is just wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.166.81.221 (talk) 22:53, 18 January 2014 (UTC)


 * I reckon 25:30:35:42 is a more appropriate voicing. I don't know if I should replace with it or merely add it. TreeNamedUser (talk) 01:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

"Offensive" quote?
User:2601:243:700:BA00:D93A:9D4C:9109:777B is wishing to remove the following text from the Schoenberg quote: "There it remains, as a sentimental expression of sentimental concerns. It became banal and effeminate." on the grounds that it is offensive. Thoughts? It's certainly dated language, but I don't think the quote is complete without it. WP:NOTCENSORED, among other things.
